So how did you know that these human rights issues exist if no one cares and starts an awareness?! Are you from all of these countries to know first hand that they exist?!
If not, then, for sure, someone or some people let these issues out for the world to know, and that is already a testament that people care, people have ears for this, and people will do something about it.
And doing something about it is not as easy as having a magic wand that in one flick, all will be alright. These issues remain and exist because there are people who never look at it as something that can be stopped just because it's already widespread.
The CCP pulled 750 million people out of poverty between 1990 and 2016.
I don't know why you would ask for something about CCP and democracy, it's not a democratic country.
Also, FYI: Satellite images have confirmed these facilities exist, but they can't confirm what they are used for. They are allegedly concentration camps, but they are officially vocational training centers.
"...CCP pulled 750 million people out of poverty between 1990 and 2016..."
"...they are officially vocational training centers..."
If CCP can hold the throats of these famous and influential artists and make them speak and do things for them, what made you think the above statements are true?! Who said it, the CCP?!
Oh, come on!
At the same time, there is an awful lot of false information coming from Western propaganda too. Everything regarding China's alleged camps in Xinjiang in completely assumed. A lot of false information has also been spread by Western media. If you haven't noticed, Western media is 100% anti China. The news in the West will never say anything good about China or their government, when in reality, their government is doing an awful lot of good (and of course some bad too). Be careful, even the least biased news in the West will only report bad things about China.
Frankly, I don't like China at all. However, I think people should be more careful when talking about stuff based almost entirely on speculation. It is still entirely possible that these camps don't even exist, for sure not in the same way that Westerners have come to believe as truth. People say stuff like "omg they're harvesting everyone's organs" but no one ever said anything about how that report was false and came from a literal cult.
"...stuff based almost entirely on speculation..."
So Adidas is just speculating, at the expense of their brand's name and sales in China?
I don't think so.
Well, maybe we shouldn't. Based on what? You want to cut ties, based on rumors and assumptions?
What are the rumors and assumptions here?
If you really care about human rights than you should cut ties with every country and every large company in the world. Because every country and company either violate human rights or support it (directly or indirectly). Why is nobody bringing up the situation in Yemen? Millions of innocent ppl will die cuz of saudia arabia (backed by usa). Also what it snowden, assange and chelsea manning fought for? They became traitors and manning is in jail. Usa killed tens of millions of innoncent ppl in the middle east while distabalizing their countries over oil. They founded Guatemala bay where they could violate the rights of suspets with trail. It still exists btw. Autralian special forces killed innocent childeren for fun in Afghanistan. Usa soldier tortured innocent men in Iraq btw too. Where was the world when that happend? You and the rest dont care about human rights, you care about your own political agenda. And the media wants you to keep those thoughts so that you wont see them violating human rights. Care about human rights? Then open your mouths about every case of violation of those rights
This argument of yours is like saying, "killings happen everywhere, it's inevitable; so if you want to stop one killer, you must stop all the killers of the world too; if you can't stop all, then don't start stopping one".
Why can't we have a mindset of calling out an issue from where we can and move from there?!
because you are not calling out those other issues. you nvr will. those things have been out for years and nothing happend, nobody raised it voices. and it will nvr happen. wanna know why? because you guys dont care and the west will always push the anti-china agenda so that you will forget about their issues. look at your own country and its allies before you judge some other country.
